Podar World School , Vadodara About Us

The Podar Group of Schools has been started and operates with the prime purpose of building young minds to spearhead a dynamic future globally. Podar's stated vision is to be the epitome of excellent, stimulating, trusted and safe learning environments, embedded in Indian values, while creating independent thinkers. In 1927 Sheth Anandilal Podar, an eminent Mumbai-based businessman, with interests in cotton mills, founded the Podar Group of Schools. Interestingly, Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of Nation, was the first President of the Anandilal Podar Trust (View the minutes of the first Trust meeting.) What began as a single institution is today a multi-school, multi-city, multi-brand entity, ambitiously executing a growth strategy with an emphasis on global standards. Podar is a growing network which has a wide spectrum of brands including pre-primary options, primary and secondary schools, a junior college, part-time courses and Teacher Training courses. Headquartered in Mumbai with 7 schools, there are a host of Podar Schools all across India. Podar offers a wide choice of educational streams including IGCSE (Cambridge), International Baccalaureate (IB), ICSE, CBSE and Secondary School Certificate (State Board). Podar's key strength emanates from its Teaching Team. The schools employ the best quality teachers, most of whom have years of experience and a commitment to quality education. National and international trainings are a regular feature to keep the staff abreast with the latest educational developments around the world. A focus on technology and innovative educational teaching methods has helped Podar establish a leadership position across schools in India. In all Podar schools, technology is given special attention and state-of-the-art facilities are available for all the students. Podar also lays extensive emphasis on sports and extra-curricular activities. Specialized and experienced coaches are deployed in a wide spectrum of sporting disciplines. The schools participate and excel in various inter school sports tournaments. All these academic and non academic efforts have paid enormous dividends: Podar Schools are considered among the Best Quality Schools wherever they operate. The ICSE and CBSE Board results of Podar Schools are consistently among the best in the city where the school is located.
